Chapter 23: "Love Me Again" - John Newman

Lyrics:

Know I've done wrong
I left your heart torn
Is that what devils do?
Took you so low
Where only fools go
I shook the angel in you

Now I'm rising from the ground
Rising up to you
Filled with all the strength I found
There's nothing I can't do!


I need to know now
Know now, can you
LOVE ME AGAIN?
I need to know now
Know now, can you
LOVE ME AGAIN?
I need to know now
Know now, can you
LOVE ME AGAIN?
I need to know now
Know now, can you
LOVE ME AGAIN?
Can you
LOVE ME AGAIN?

It's unforgivable
I stole and burnt your soul
Is that what demons do?
They rule the worst of me
Destroy everything
They bring down angels like you

Now I'm rising from the ground
Rising up to you
Filled with all the strength I found
There's nothing I can't do!

I need to know now
Know now, can you
LOVE ME AGAIN?
I need to know now
Know now, can you
LOVE ME AGAIN?
Can you
LOVE ME AGAIN?

I told you once again
Do this again
Do this again, oh lord
I told you once again
Do this again
Do this again, oh no

I need to know now
Know now, can you
LOVE ME AGAIN?
I need to know now
Know now, can you
LOVE ME AGAIN?

I need to know now
Know now, can you
LOVE ME AGAIN?
Can you
LOVE ME AGAIN?
Can you
LOVE ME AGAIN
Oh no
Can you
LOVE ME AGAIN?

       When I got back to the Varsity Theater, I walked into the back entrance with my all access pass. I'm a little later getting back than anyone probably expected, because I took my time walking here. I needed to clear my head, and smoke a couple of cigarettes without Zane around.

"Where have you been? I called you, I was worried." Zane said like a frantic father, who lost his daughter in a crowded store.

"Sorry... I didn't hear my phone ring." I said and it was a lie.

       I did hear my phone ring, but I purposely let it go to voicemail, because I didn't feel like talking about it just yet.

"How'd it go with your mom." Zane asked, actually interested.

       I didn't have the strength to answer, I just fell into his arms, because I needed someone to hold me and make me feel like I mattered. Zane wrapped his arm around me, and held me just the way I wanted him to. I laid my head into his chest, and I couldn't hold back my tears anymore.
       I felt Zane's chest rise and fall as he breathed me in, and I knew he could smell that I reeked of cigarettes. Despite it, Zane nuzzled his face into my hair, and gave me a kiss on the top of my head. I didn't know that, that's what I wanted. Zane didn't say one word, but somehow he said all the right things.
